Wood for Cutting Boards - 12 replies Fellow Dusty People, I’m making some cutting boards and having fairly good luck with hard maple, walnut, purple heart and padauk. My next goal is to try some other contrasting woods in various patterns. Anyone have suggestions as to which species I should consider.
